A round of applause for the 2023 President’s Award winners

Each year, Prime Therapeutics and Magellan Rx (Prime/MRx) celebrates the President’s Awards, honoring individuals and teams that have driven exceptional success toward company goals within the last 12 months. Finalists are selected by Prime/MRx’s executive team, and winners are announced in the fall.

“It fills me with great pride to recognize and thank our finalists and award recipients,” said Mostafa Kamal, president and CEO of Prime Therapeutics. Kamal continued, ”Our people are our most valuable differentiator, and the opportunity to recognize the amazing work accomplished in 2023 fills me with enthusiasm for all that we will continue to achieve together in 2024 and beyond.”
